I am 60 years old and have a history or migraines. My headaches were hormonal and environmentally triggered. Today I awoke with jetting white lights in the far left of my vision.
It was quite entertaining for a while. Then it chaged shapes by enlarging and was frightening.
There was no pain and stopped as quickly as it came on. I was the light show with my eyes
closed as well as open and it was in one eye only. Could this have been a migraine without pain?
What should I do. Jackie 129
